Norwegian Peasant weddings.

The traveller IN Norway may move to
ind fro d good deal and never see a Nor
Kegian wedding, just as he may pass
through reindeer regions and see
either REINDEER or Lapp. There are
good reasons for this rarity. It is posi-
pie to produce a dozen or two, but the
most striking of all is that there are not
many peop.e to marry. The country is
sparsely populated, the peasants are
careful and thrifty, the young people
Ire gravcly brought up, ana they have
Usually too much to do to let their
thoughts run too early upon married
life.
Very little, too, in the way of court.
ing is seen by the passing traveller, be-
cause most Of the peasant girls are away
up the mountains in the summer, at the
s@ters, or milk farms; and in the winter,
when fun and frolic abound, the obser-
rant foreigner is at home, studying
weather tables, and wondering when
snow, slect, frost, and east winds are
likely to come to an end.
a Norwegian wedding is a very sig.
oifcant incident. There is really SO
much that ~precedesat. To the man it
means that he has attained a certain
position. There must be no doubt Of
shis ability to keep a vie. If he is a
bender, or freehold farmer, he must
have succeeded to the farm, or his
parents must retire from active work and
leave ~himsupreme. If he is a kouseman
Or laborer, he must also have succeeded
TO the allotment on the skirts of the
bonder's farm, consisting of a cottage
and patches Of land, or he must have
attained his allotment in some other
way. He pays rent, does work for the
bender at fixed wages, and has his land
settled upon him and his wife. The
miscellaneous persons hanging about a
big farm house are the honsemcn and
their wives, who seem to English eyes
n constitute almost one family.

The sweet Tooth.

The qualification of the sweet tooth"
S spreading among fashionable women,
md more candy is now sold at retail in
Philadelphia, says q Quaker city paper,
han was ever before known. Physicians
continue to argue that a glut of bon bons
md pastry is not the best thing In the
world for health, but the ladies, young
md old, do not seem to mind The warn
ing much, nor are they deferred by the
prospect of an early visit to the dentist,
which usually follows continued candy
consumption. Not only has the manu-
iacture of candy increased in Philadel-
ohia, but the number of retail establish
nents has multiplied rapidly in the last
rear. There are establishments where
he finest bonbons and bonbon packages
arc imported from Paris, and there is
aardly a fashionable young ladies' school
without one or two candy shops close
oy where some of the girls with liberal
allowances ct pin-money lun up bills
that are almost prepostcrous. Last sum-
ner, shortly before vacation, The fayoritc
daughter of a welIknown Philadelphia
family was noticed to have not only lost
ler appetite, but to be suffering ap-
parently from some secret trouble. With
considerable difficulty it was discovered
that she owed nearly $40 for candy and
zee cream. The bills had often run up
% $40 and $50, but she managed to
bay them. This bill was paid, but this
right cured the young lady of the candy
habit.

Flagstaff vs. winslow.

A base ball match was played on Sunday last at Winslow, between the Flagstaff club and the Winslow club The boys went down from here on Saturday and returned Sunday even ing. They report having good time both the club and the people ot Wins low giving then a very hospltabIe welcome. The grounds of the Wins low club. a little to the east of the town are excellent and the game was closely contested.
 At the seventh innings on both sides the game was tie, both clubs having scored I3. The game then grew exciting and betting was pretty lively, The home club scored on the eighth inning, when Flagstaff fol- lowed, adding } to their score. This made the game stand Winslow I4. Flagstaff I6. Winslow then went to the bat and scored o, this left the Flagstaff club winner by ? runs, with one inning to spare. This is the sec ond time the Mountain boys have go, away with the Winslow club and il Is probable that return match will b. played at Flagstaa in I short time.

DOWN TO DEATH.
A Horrible Railroad Disaster-The Fire man Killed and the Engineer and Brakeman FeartnlIy Injured,

man Killed and the Enginesr and
 Brakeman Fsarfniiy Injured.
 A horrible accident occurred to to the west bound freight train, on Wednesday evening last. As the trlin was approaching Franc onia sta tion, near the Needles, ab put 10 o'clock in the evening when it was quite dark, the train plunged head. long into chasm, over which there had been bridge when the previous train had passed the spot. In the meantime 1t had burned and left this great death trap open. The arroya was deep, and when the engine took her fearful leap it was followed by twenty loaded cars before the chasm was filled up. Fireman Sparks was buried in the debris and in all proba- bility instantly killed. The brake man, George Gibson, and the engin- eer. J. T. Riley, were fearfully crush ed and it is doubtful if either of them will live.
 The cars immediately caught on fire and nothing could be done to ar rest the confagration. The engineer and brakeman, who were both en- tangled in the burning cars, were at last got out before the fire reached them, but the body ot poor Sparks, the fireman, could not be reached al. though it could be seen, and 1t was consumed by the fire. There is but little doubt that he was dead before the flames reached him. The engin- eer and brakeman, whose injuries are said to be fearful, were sent to the Needles for medical treatment. The loss to the company will exceed $foo.- 900.
